- Victor Eijkhout <eijkhout@cs.utk.edu> posted recently about his update to
- Lollipop TeX. I was about to send out a note on this update when this post
- from him came in on another list:
- > if any of you controls an archive that

- > could you mail me a short instruction

- No problem!

- LOLLIPOP
- --------
- The LOLLIPOP package includes the files for Victor Eijkhout's Lollipop TeX,
- version 0.93 (15 November 1992). The Lollipop format tries to bridge the
- gap between the fact that in TeX anything is programmable, and the fact
- that doing so is too hard for the people such as typographers, who know
- actually what to program. Or even for seasoned programmers.
-
- Lollipop is a macro package that gives the user powerful tools for
- programming macros for lists, headings, output routines and a number of
- other things. The Lollipop macros take the specifications for a macro, and
- then construct that macro.
-
- Lollipop is not finished, but it is already quite powerful; it was used to
- typeset Victor's book 'TeX by Topic', for instance. Anyone who is
- interested should format the manual and have a look at the examples in it.
- They document the current power of Lollipop (really: all examples,
- including of output routines, are formatted on the fly).
-
- To facilitate distribution, the package is provided in a 4 part UUENCODEd
- file, which UUDECODEs to lollipop.zip, which UNZIPs to the full file set
- (contents listed below). To retrieve the files, include:
- SENDME LOLLIPOP
- in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
-
- For anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), the ZIP
- file (LOLLIPOP-0_93.ZIP) is available in [FILESERV.LOLLIPOP] and the
- individual files are available in [FILESERV.LOLLIPOP.LOLLIPIP-0_93].
-
- Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)
- File Blocks Save file as:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- LOLLIPOP.UUE_1OF4 LOLLIPOP.UUE, which UUDECODEs to LOLLIPOP.ZIP
- through
- LOLLIPOP.UUE_3OF4 77 (each)
- LOLLIPOP.UUE_4OF4 45
-
- Approximate total blocks in full LOLLIPOP package = 276
